You know, unless you're gay, or a woman or....

A bit presumptuous to assume the OP is a gay male, no?

maybe they have sex with women, too. then "gay" doesn't fit so well.

Can confirm this works. Then again, I'm gay, so I'd be interested in the differences between straight and gay men.

As long as you're not gay.

Why would you assume they were gay?

Good thing you specified, because I was assuming that you were gay.
